I have problems with the bootstrap grid and a nested div with overflow-y.
Like mentioned in this stack overflow post, I tried to add a min-height:0
to the parent ancestor, but can't get it to run.
left Chrome, right: Firefox
In Chrome the layout is rendered okay (no browser scrollbar) and a scrollbar in the red area marked with the overflow-y: scroll.
In Firefox the layout isn't rendered okay (browser scrollbar is shown, no scrollbar in red area)
My goal is to have a 100% height webpage with a vertical splitted right column (25% | 75%) and a scrollbar in the red area in all browsers ;-)
I've put the sources to a codepen
Any suggestions, how to achieve the expected behaviour?
I've adjusted your code a little, please check out this fiddle.
Try adding height: 100vh; to .bg-secondary. Additionally I've moved the overflow-y: scroll to .bg-danger
And make sure you have imported all necessary bootstrap files, I've used bootstrap.min.js(v4.1.3), bootstrap.css (v4.1.3), popper.min.js (1.12.9), jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js

I have a website consisting of a few pages. Some of them have vertical scroll bars and some of them not. The body on the pages without scrollbar is a bit wider than the on the pages with scrollbar (by the scrollbar's width). Is there any way to set exactly the same width on both type of pages? That small difference in width causes some problems such as the some links in the top manue are in a bit different places. The same is with other elements. I would like to avoid it.
You could make the scrollbar visible on all pages.
When the page is short enough, the scrollbar will have no effect:
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
Source of that code: Making the main scrollbar always visible
I'm coding a website and getting a strange behavior on the vertical scrollbar. This is happening on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.
On IOS, it apparently is causing issues with page scrolling (i.e., it is difficult to get the page to scroll past the bottom of the initial view)
The puzzling part is that the undesirable effect only occurs when the viewport is sized below 683px wide
683px wide and above, the vertical scroll bar behaves normally (see attached graphic)
Website url is http://157.245.80.107
Any suggestions or insight? Thanks!
The theme is badly coded.
Whoever made it didn't bother to read the intro on do's and dont's for Bootstrap v3.4.1.
The quickfix would be to remove
overflow-x: hidden;
from line 9 of _main.scss (on html, body) and apply it to .main-container instead.
Another problem (same cause, basically) is the presence of class row on #navigation2 .navigation-header .mobile-main-nav. Either remove it if you can edit that template, or apply this CSS to counter the negative margins:
#navigation2 .navigation-header {
padding: 0 15px;
}
I am working on a site with a header at the top and a main content area. The header does not scroll but the main area does. This means that I have a scrollbar to the right of the main area but not to right of the header and they do not line up:
In this image the red bar is the content and the orange bar is the centre section of the header that should be in line with the content.
These are both aligned using this css:
.center-content {
width: 100%;
max-width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
What is the best approach for this?
I was thinking of just adding the scrollbar permanently but I don't really want to do this. I could then just add some padding to the left of the main section to re-center it. Alternatively I could add padding to the right of the header.
Questions:
How would I change the style of the header based on wheather the main section has a scrollbar?
How would I add padding to the main section based on wheather it has a scrollbar?
How to I get the width of the scrollbar? Is this guaranteed to be the same across all browsers (I need to cater for mobile as well)
I have created a JSbin for this that demonstrates the issue.
I am using the material-design-lite style sheets for this.
You will not want to change any styles based on the scrollbar - I think that's too complicated and it would almost certainly involve javascript. Scrollbars are also not consistent across browsers/mobile. A better option would be to fix the header to the top of the page, and make the content div's margin-top equal to the header's height. Then the scrollbar, when it appears, will be to the right of the entire page. See an example here:
http://output.jsbin.com/xuroyaceli/#
Resize the window to see how it looks with a scrollbar.
Whenever I have content that expands the page height, a scrollbar appears on my rendered website. However, the scrollbar pushes my content to the left by the width of the scroll bar so when I navigate to a page where the height is less then the page height, there's a noticeable jump as the page width resizes. Is it possible to have the scrollbar sit on top of all my html content? Similar to how scrolling works in Chrome on iOS.
Ideally a css property like overflow:absolute where the scrollbar appears and the content isn't clipped would be the best but I know that doesn't exist.
EDIT:
In the image below, you can see that the scrollbar has a white background and has pushed my html content to the left. What I want is the html content to be underneath the scrollbar, as if the scrollbar had absolute positioning to the right.
I conferred with one of my colleagues who's running the same version of chrome as I am and his scrollbar does exactly what I want. Maybe AB testing on Google's part?
There is no reliable cross-browser way to do what you're looking for.
Different browsers handle the scrollbar differently -- some (including Safari and some versions of Chrome) already do exactly what you want, most others enforce a particular background-color and width for the scrollbar (not always the same width) and push the content over to make room. Any negative-margin or width-greater-than-100% trickery will either not work at all or will put some of your content underneath a non-transparent scrollbar in many browsers (and offscreen in others).
If the 'jump' when the scrollbar appears is too distracting, you can force the scrollbar to always be present with overflow-y:scroll.
Native scrollbar styling is limited, but here is a demo of how to do it:
body::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background-color: darkgrey;
outline: 1px solid slategrey;
}

Chrome and IE respond to it very well. Firefox not so much, the issue is logged here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790 and is stale.
If you want firefox, you'll have to go with a custom scrollbar replacer.
And how to compensate for scrollbar is explained here: How to compensate for Vertical Scrollbar when it is not yet present
It works well, but most code pens can't show it, so you'll have to experiment on your own.
This is the OSX disappearing scrollbar issue (not sure if it's relevant for modern versions of OSX): CSS - Overflow: Scroll; - Always show vertical scroll bar?
As it would turn out, all I had to do was update my version of OSX...baffling. I'll accept #DanielBeck's answer because it's a reasonable answer to a coding question whereas here, the solution was to arbitrary update my laptop software.
I know there is an insanely simple solution to this, but for the life of me I just can't get it. I have a site, where the content width is 848px (strange I know), but there is an absolutely positioned div outside of it all with a width of 1496px. They are centrally aligned with one another, and I need a scrollbar to be added ONLY once the window is resized to be more narrow than the 848px. check it out at brianbattenfeld.com/fingers/
You could always use CSS Media Queries to detect the width of the browser then you could add scroll bars to the page/elements you want. I couldn't quite work out if you were after horizontal or vertical scrollbars when when the wideth gets to 848px as currently there is no horizontal scroll bars at all.
Maybe something like this would work (haven't tested as is only a rough guide)
#media (min-width:848px) {
html {
overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
}
Hope this is useful!
